In Dedication To Mrs. Halbrook— she is one special part of MDJC I love you, dear, but read your text. All you have to do is The 1976 Retrospect is dedicated to a person who constantly brings happiness to our campus. This individual has given Mississippi Delta Junior College eight years of unselfish service as a language and literature teacher. Almost all students know and love this fine lady, even those who do not have her for a class. She has served as an energizing force in the lives of many students. In addition to her role as a teacher, she is an avid fan of the T.J. ' s. This interest stems from the fact that her son was the drummer for the TJ. ' s when he was a stu- dent at M.D.J.C. Since his graduation, she adopts the drummer every year. She is just as enthusiastic about sports and all other student activities. Some people believe that she is the most energetic cheerleader on camous. These are just a few of the reasons that the 1976 Retrospect is dedicated with pleasure to Mrs. Melba Halbrook.
